Just tryed this quickly on my XP laptop and E-Loaders not working 
anymore.
Its having problems picking up the USB midi ports, in and out looking 
at the log file.
On mine in the midi setup you can select USB '0' as the input port but 
i only USB '0'is in the list, USB '1' doesnt appear.
If i select USB '0' for the output port it drops it and says none.
What was all that USB '0' and '1' port thing about i cant remember?
Should port 1 be the output?
In device manager when the command station is plugged in via USB both 
emu usb midi ports show up, '0' and '1' and the command station appears 
as a USB composite device.

Plugging in a Midiman 1X1 USB to midi interface works fine, everything 
seems to be working.
Like Steve says it might be slower but at least you can back the 
machine up and dump to it. Repluging things might be a pain though, 
depends how you've got things plugged up i guess.

So there must be some sysex strings you can send to initiate either a 
pattern / song dump request all or single?

So i wonder if its the EMU midi USB drivers are at fault seeing as the 
Midiman USB port works? 
This should be repairable should'nt it?
I wish i could code better, maybe its time learn..
